fork only forks out problems

[bals ji <gtksophists yahoo com>]

I am trying to implement a vt100 emulator using gtk ..
i have opened a top level window with a text widget in
it and after that i fork a child process with 
     gtk_main() in it..

in the parent when i try to insert some text into the
text widget .. i get  the following error
 
           Gdk-ERROR **: BadIDChoice (invalid resource
ID chosen for this connection)
       serial 222 error_code 14 request_code 1
minor_code 0

I have even used _exit() in the child ....
the synopsis of the program is as follows..


main()
{
   .... create windows and text widget .....
                
        fork() 
{
        child:
                fork()
                {       grandchild:
                                  exec telnet
                        child:
                                gtk_main();
                }
        parent:
                insert into text widget
                //fails//
}
